26.03.2022 Sampling a bit at home. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Light wood, Agricole, oranges, faint varnish, light banana, light vegetal. Palate Fresh, light, Agricole, light wood, faint smoke, orange, light dried fruit, light vegetal. Finish Medium long, light wood, light orange, faint caramel, faint banana.
Very nice, round and balanced Agricole with toasty notes.
Holz, röstig, getrocknete Früchte, leicht säuerlich und pflanzlich. Ausgewogen. Im Mund etwas würziger und holziger. Der Rum wärmt ordentlich, bevor sich ein unspektakulärer Abgang anschließt. Ein etwas besserer Standard Agricole.
An Agricole with a fruity nose, where I smell sour fruits in addition to the dried fruits. In addition, sugar cane, wood and nut. In the mouth somewhat unspectacular, dry, toasty and dark chocolate, which continues pleasantly sweet in the finish with a little more fruit.
